Pulmonary Tuberculosis with ARDS and Hemophagocytic Syndrome–A case report
Journal Title: Journal Of Pediatric Critical Care - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 4
Abstract
Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis(HLH) is a heterogeneous group of clinical syndromes, either familial or genetic in origin or secondary, characterised by uncontrolled non-malignant proliferation of T-lymphocytes, histiocytes and macrophages leading to a cytokine storm and manifest as prolonged fever, organomegaly, cytopenia, hyperferritenemia and demonstrable hemophagocytosis in the bone marrow. Secondary infection associated HLH(IAHLH) can be triggered by many infections, mostly viral. Here we present a case of Pulmonary tuberculosis complicated by ARDS and HLH.
